This is my review for Frankie J's new album "Courage". First off I'd like to say this is a great album despite being gone for 5 years and it's not a major label release. I think going digital was the best way to market the album everyone puts their music on their MP3/iPod now of days anyways, I'm guilty of that fact. I think that this is the first album since "What's A Man To Do" that I can fully listen to without feeling the need to skip half the songs (not that I don't like them just when you listen to them as often as I do you get annoyed with them) I have to say that my favorite songs other than "I Had You There" and "How Beautiful You Are" are "Tears of A Clown", "What If", "My Hero Love" "If The World Would End" "Courage" and "Say I Do". That is half the album however I like those the most. My favorites that I can listen to over and over would be "Tears of A Clown", "Say I Do","My Hero Love" and "If The World Would End". There are 5 songs that are on this album that "leaked" and I heard before that's why I have a strong liking for TOAC, WI, SID (Tears of A Clown, What If and Say I Do). One song that I am frankly disappointed that's NOT on here is "The Greatest Thing" if was a track he put on MySpace a while back, I fell in love with it and I think it could be relate able to anyone and it's true to the point. I really felt that it could have been "The Song" of 2011 or 2012 since it's what we're experiencing in our world today. Frankie is a great artist hands down and his music is always amazing. This album has the classic "Frankie flair" but I think alot of these songs are slow jams/love songs than more upbeat/dance songs which is fine in my option. For his first independent release it was a home run. It is ranking high on iTunes and Amazon despite his 5 year hiatus since Frankie fans still love him, including me. I am glad he is back on the scene and I hope he achieves fame and glory. What do you think of "Courage"? Comment below and let me know your favorite songs and what you love about this album.
